A large amount of this originates from the American cartoon series and the first live-action film. A good portion of the memes relate to M. Bison.
When adding to one of the subpages, please follow this format. Not everyone knows where a particular meme came from or how it's used. Even if it's potholed.
Bison dramatically turns and delivers this line when Sagat shows surprise at the reveal that Guile faked his death. Popularized as a meme by The Nostalgia Critic in reference to any villain whose plan is to, you guessed it, Take Over the World.
comment as a video broadcast displays an explosive heading directly for Bison's base.]]
You got... paid? (Unfortunately, Balrog wasn't there to fully cash in on that scene.) Explanation
Zangief makes a Heel Face Turn after discovering that not only was Bison the villain, but his compatriots (most notably Dee Jay) only worked for Bison for the money. Balrog addendum is a reference to his "I GOT PAID!" winquote from the Capcom vs. SNK
games.]]
From Dee Jay: "Oh man, I should have stayed at Microsoft". Explanation
During the siege on Bison's base as Dee Jay attempts to escape.
GAAME OVER!! Explanation
Bison's triumphant exclamation as he destroys Guile's stealth boat and believes he's finished him off.
You still refuse to accept my GODHOOD!? KEEP your own God! In fact, now my be a good time to PRAY TO HIM. For I befell Satan as he FELL FROM HEAVEN! LIKE LIGHTNING!!Explanation
Bison exclaims this victoriously just after Guile gets tackled by one of the mutants. Goes hand in hand with the above quote. Due to the pronunciation it's spelled like that.
Guile is unhappy to see Cammy kissing and allying with Bison, due to brain washing. Any sense of drama is destroyed by Guile shaking his fists like a toddler and a rather upbeat musical cue
.
"Blanka, no, not the head bite!" Explanation
Due to getting mutated a little more Blanka has severe anger issues. After Vega tries to kill his Shallow Love Interest Blanka goes berserk. Cue Guile trying to stop Blanka and cue Blanka turning on Guile and attempts to bite his head. The one atop his shoulders.
A hog covered in some virus slams into Ryu, covering him in the muck, pissing him off enough to consider giving up on his and Ken's search for treasure.
Guile cursing Bison's name when he learns Blanka's been exposed to a deadly virus. When he shouts Bison's name, flames randomly sprout behind him for no reason.
Sonic Boom is this both in the games and the cartoon. In the games, it was misheard by Brazilians as "ALEX FULL!" In the cartoon, he uses it to solve everything. Everything.
Honda offering Ryu half the prize money he earned from beating Dhalsim in a fight, mainly because Dhalsim sensed Ryu's presence and that allowed Honda to get the winning blow in. That and Dhalsim forfeited as well.
"I'm the welcome wagon!" Explanation
Balrog near the end of the film, right before he faces off with Honda. Notable due to the line's delivery and Balrog's facial features being ridiculously Off Model to the point of Balrog appearing to be lacking in terms of mental capacities.
take Guile's theme song from Hyper Street Fighter II Turbo and apply it to any situation.
A comment from Fresh Prince vs Guile Theme:Guile's Theme is a metaphor for the collective human consciousness, the timings for its beats and rhythm changes being perfectly or near perfectly set to allow it to fit in with any scene and genre with no need to cut it to fit in. In addition, the emotion of the song itself is of universal appeal, fitting in with any plot, be it tragic, heroic or action packed. Only an omniscient and omnipresent entity could have crafted such a perfect composition... thus Guile's Theme is proof there is a god.
"Go home and be a family man!"Explanation
Guile's Street Fighter II ending. It's also one of his victory quotes (but only appears in the console ports), which got a reprise (and several derivatives) in IV.
Travis is Guile's voice actor in Street Fighter IV and he married Laura Bailey (Chun-Li's VA), thus he's now a family man like Guile. Also goes with some of his roles like Roy Mustang
This doesn't need much explanation, though. For instance, it would be parodied in The King of Fighters with Hinako Shijou attempting to mimic the move and falling on her face every time.
"Dosukoi!" Explanation
An exclamation commonly used by sumo wrestlers. Honda uses it whenever he does his aforementioned flying headbutt, as well as in one of his win poses.
"Can't you do better than that?"
HELLOOOOOO~KEN!Explanation
Each and any of these are Mondegreens, which by the very nature of that trope... are memetic on their own. For the sake of clarity, though, the explanations will contain the attacks referenced. For example, this one is "Hadoken
Ryu's motivation for Walking the Earth and seeking out stronger opponents than he is.
"You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance." Explanation
Most non-Japanese didn't get the reference to the mythological dragon god (who isn't that one
necessarily), so it left them scratching their heads as to what "Sheng Long" meant. Lead to an infamous Urban Legend of Zelda April Fool's Joke by EGM, which in turn is believed to have influenced the creation of Akuma in Turbo and eventually folded back into Gouken (the basis of the Shen Long hoax) becoming a playable character in IV.]]
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Yatta!" Explanation
One of Chun-Li's winning poses. It has appeared in most of her subsequent appearances.
"I'm the strongest woman in the world!" Explanation
Her win screen quote.
In actuality, all of the win quotes from the original version (before the Capcom Sequel Stagnation set in) count.
His Super Street Fighter IV version of "You Blow My Mind" has also led to "Let's fight like gentlemen... ON THE DANCE FLOOR!" and "Let's dance... like gentlemen."
"Jazzy NYC," the theme of Alex from III, has started a movement for slapping the name "Jazzy" on anything with even the slightest hint of jazz in it. As of Super Street Fighter IV, we now have "Jazzy Russia" (Zangief), "Jazzy Metro" (Guy), and "Jazzy Kyoto" (Ibuki).
Aside from the nikes things, there has been a surge of YouTube comments turning Guy and the story of Final Fight into a parody of Blaxploitation films due to the funky style of his theme in IV. Its name? Bushinryu Jones.
The memes Pastor Ryu and Pastor Pilão (Piledriver Pastor) are memes that became famous in Brazil, as remixes of footage of Pentecostal preachers and Street Fighter music.

From the memorable EVO 2004 Daigo vs JWong match, seen directly above. Any match with an American player in Nico Video is bound to have this line in the scrolling comments. This later crossed over into a Marvel vs. Capcom 2
"Rare footage of X [insert phrase here]." Explanation
A derivative of the commentary from the above EVO match, which, upon seeing Daigo backed into a corner and on the verge of a loss, notes that this is "Rare footage of Daigo angry."
